The international food retailer, Delhaize Group, has published its first Corporate Responsibility Report, entitled “A healthy approach to life”.
The report is structured around three themes: Product, People and Planet with Health & Wellness as a lead theme throughout the report. Each theme has a focus area:
(1) food safety and health (product),
(2) associate development (people) and
(3) energy conservation (planet).
These priorities lead Delhaize Group’s CR strategy and determine where the Group wants to excel.
KPIs, additional data and future commitments are clearly indicated and well balanced throughout the report. The Group’s first report is mainly aimed to be an inventory of all CR initiatives. Future objectives will include further development of the company’s strategic points of view, highlighting challenges and working with stakeholders.
The report covers data and information for the calendar year 2007 and refers to the CR performance of the Group, documented with examples and data from all Delhaize Group’s operating companies. The report has been compiled using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 guidelines. Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) acted as a partner in advising on the report’s content and metrics and in delivering feedback by an included review statement.
